Semi-Permanent Sydney – line-up

Semi-Permanent has undergone a few changes over the last six months – first a rebrand (by Moffitt.Moffitt), followed by the announcement of two US conferences (in Portland and Los Angeles this month). However, despite the transitions, Semi-Permanent is returning to Sydney for its eleventh year. Running over two days – 24 and 25 May – the conference will be held at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, Darling Harbour.

Tickets are available now for VIP, General and Student tickets. Early bird prices are available until 26 April 2013. Nine speakers have been announced thus far, with more revealed soon…
